Red Kite seen Saturday 26th May, Knutsford

I volunteer with the RSPB, and am lucky enough to feed Kites in Wales. I have waited a long time to see Kites in Cheshire. Imagine my joy when over my back garden came a Red Kite, Saturday 26th May 2012:t:

Red Kite Mid Cheshire

I'm 90% sure I spotted a red kite in Mid Cheshire on 22nd May whilst driving on A530 between Rudheath and Middlewich. A couple of crows were having a dig but not as close as they do to the Buzzards! I have seen hundreds of RK's around Oxfordshire and my 1st reaction was "that's not a buzzard"! I was doing 60'ish so not 100% sure officer .

Welcome to Birdforum GShawk. Seems likely to be one of the birds already mentioned above.
